Machakos: Another security guard killed in night attack

Matungulu OCPD Peter Omondi confirmed the incident.

He said: “A group of criminals invaded the supermarket, dug through its wall, ransacked the cash deposit box before carting away an unknown amount of money and several other items, and dragged the watchman.”

Tala Member of County Assembly (MCA) Jackson Ndaka also condemned the incident, which comes just a fortnight after another security guard was killed outside a church, in a near similar fashion.

Anna Katile Kyalo, the chairperson at Tala market said that the incident happened roughly a kilometre from the nearest police station.

“This is very unfortunate. As market officials we are asking police to enhance security in this area, because we have lost two security guards in two weeks,” said Kyalo.

The body of watchman was taken to Kangundo hospital mortuary as police begin their  investigations.
